Expedition with plate no. 4 & convoy

**Horsepower** · March 11th, 2009 12:00 AM

Cruising from Makati to Quezon City this late evening, I got side to side with this convoy of SUVs led by an Expedition with Plate no. 4.

Speaker of the House pala. I think Atty. Nograles is the incumbent right now.

Wala, nakakabilib lang. Hindi katulad ng ibang naka no.8 plate na mas mababa sa kanya na walang ginagawa kundi maghawi ng mga tao sa daan na kala mo kung sino, ito tahimik lang.

Nakahazard lang sila at magkakasunod at di nagmamaneho na parang mga siraulo katulad ng ibang Govt vehicles. As in normal lang. If not for their hazard lights, di mo iisipin na magkakasama.

It's good to know na meron pa rin palang mga Govt officials na di makapal ang mukha sa daan.

sa other side naman, may mayabang na Rav4 with no.8 plate tapos may dalawang alipin sa harap na nakamotor tapos wang wang nang wang wang.. hehehe

Actually minsan naawa ako sa mga pulis na ganun. Naging mga walang halagang mga alipin lang. Wala nang dignity sa profession nila.

Motorist nabbed for using Speaker’s car plate

MANILA, Philippines -- Traffic policemen on Tuesday arrested a motorist and impounded his car for bearing the special license plate No. 4, a protocol plate meant only for the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group (HPG) flagged down Luis Lozano Jr., who was driving a black Mazda 3 bearing the plate that only Speaker Prospero Nograles is authorized to use.

Members of Nograles’ staff reported to the HPG on February 18 that two private cars, a silver Toyota Vios (rear plate ZEK-970) and the impounded Mazda, had been spotted with the Speaker's special plate.

In a report, the HPG said Lozano was accosted around 8:35 a.m. Tuesday on the Merville Subdivision access road in Sucat, Parañaque City, after officers noticed that his car plate lacked a 2008 registration sticker.

The car had the No. 4 plate on its front fender, its original plate, XTN-820 at the rear.

Lozano is under HPG custody while police investigate whether the protocol plate was authentic and where it came from.

The plate was brought to the Land Transportation Office Tuesday for verification, said Superintendent Edwin Butacan, the HPG information chief.

Butacan said the sitting Speaker is given two sets of the special plates: green for the lawmaker's main vehicle and a blue one for a second car, mainly for family. Other members of Congress are given the special “8” plate.

Depending on results of the investigation, Butacan said Lozano may face charges of misrepresentation or illegal use of license plate.

HPG figures showed that some 57 vehicles were flagged down in 2008 for the use of fake license plates, another 54 for illegally transferred plates and 684 for use of expired or unauthorized commemorative plates.

The use of special plates has been abused by motorists to avoid the number coding scheme.

^^ i see...kaya pala mabait yung anak...gung ganyan lang din, may pinagmanahan.

i have seen the speaker's son on several occasions here in davao and he is not maangas...alang nakabuntot na bodyguard e. marami akong na oobserve na kingpin dito sa Mindanao...mga anak nila mababait...and yung demeanor nila mag cascade din sa body guards nila...di mo makikitaan ng angas.
